Magazine publishing, in general, is struggling, but black magazines, in particular, are having a tough time surviving. Publishers are constantly challenged to change in many ways that include content relevance and technology, and many black magazines have done an excellent job doing both.
Successful black magazines such as Ebony, Jet, Essence, Black Enterprise, and Rolling Out have survived due to their resilience. But these 7 black magazines, in particular, have also survived and are still publishing content, not just online, but also still in print:
